4 Getting Started
4.1 Initial Setup
Find a flat and stable surface to place the photo frame. Swing out the built in stand fully
to prop up the photo frame – make sure the stand is fully extended or else it will
collapse during use. Plug the AC adapter into a standard 110V AC or 240V AC
electrical outlet and connect it to the DC Power Input on the photo frame. If the frame
turns on and displays the main menu, proceed to the following steps:
   Carefully remove the protective film covering the LCD.
   Remove the plastic battery insulator from the battery compartment and make sure
    the remote control has a battery inside.
   Press the “Power” button on the remote control to turn the player on or off.
Your digital photo frame is now ready for use.

5 Operating Instructions
After turning on the photo frame, the main menu
will display after a few seconds. If there is a flash
memory card or USB flash drive inserted into the
photo frame, a slideshow will automatically begin
plain. To get back to the main menu, press the
“Menu/Return” button on the back of the photo
frame twice.
The main menu contains icons for Photos, Music, Videos, File Operations, Calendar,
and Setup.

5.1 Flash Memory Cards and USB Flash Drives
The photo frame supports SD flash memory cards and USB flash drives, both up to
32GB in size. While the photo frame can handle high resolution photos directly from a
digital camera, it is strongly recommended to resize photos down to a lower resolution
of about one megapixel in size. This allows more photos to be stored at one time and
smaller files are more easily displayed by the photo frame.
The photo frame has a very small amount of built-in internal memory. It can be used to
hold a few small photos.

5.2 Choosing Storage Device
When more than one storage device is detected by the digital photo frame, it is
necessary to select which storage device to use. Once selected, all operations are on
the selected storage device. To perform operations on another storage device, it is
necessary to select it first.
To select a storage device, press the “Menu/Return” button on the back of the photo
frame repeatedly until the storage selection screen is shown. Highlight the desired
storage device and press “Play/Pause/Enter” on the back of the photo frame to select it.

5.3 Viewing Photos
When a storage device loaded with photos is inserted, the digital photo frame will
automatically start displaying a photo slideshow when it is turned on. The user can also
manually start a slideshow through the “Photo” icon from the main menu.
Background music will also begin playing if music files are found. To change this
behavior, refer to detailed settings in Chapter 6.

Copyright © 2009-2018 Micca. All rights reserved.                                   180201
When viewing photos, the following operations are available using the buttons on the
back of the photo frame:

       Menu/Return       Stop the slide show and return to the photo thumbnail menu.

5.4 Internal Memory
While the photo frame is designed specifically to play photos from SD cards and USB
drives, it does contain a very small amount of internal memory, and it is possible to copy
a few small photos to the photo frame’s internal memory by following these steps:
1. Load a SD or USB drive with photos you wish to copy and insert it into the photo
   frame.
2. Turn on the photo frame. If slideshow automatically starts, press the “Menu/Return”
   button once to return to view photo thumbnails.

   “Play/Pause/Enter” button to display it full screen.

   to internal memory.

2. Turn on the photo frame and select the “Photos” icon from the main menu.
3. Highlight the photo you wish to delete.
4. Long press the “Menu/Return” button to display the delete menu.
5. Highlight “Delete File” and press the “Play/Pause/Enter” button to delete the photo.

5.5 Playing Music
To begin playing music, select the “Music” icon from the main menu. All supported
music files found on the storage device will be displayed in one list. Only MP3 music
files with an “mp3” file extension are supported. Scroll to the desired music file and

video files found on the storage device will be displayed in one list. Scroll to the desired
video file and press the “Play/Pause/Enter” button to begin playing the video.
Only video files with an “mp4” or “avi” file extension are supported. If a video file does
not play, then it is likely not in a supported format. It is possible to convert such videos
into a compatible format by using freely available software tools such as Handbrake.
While playing videos, the following operations are available using the buttons on the
back of the photo frame:
       Button                                       Description
        Play/Pause       Play or pause the video.

              Down       Go to the next video file.
       Menu/Return       Stop the playback and return to the video selection menu.

7 Troubleshooting Guide
Cannot Read a SD Card or USB Drive
The photo frame supports SD and USB flash drives up to 32GB in size, using FAT or

If the photo frame reports errors reading a storage device, it may be necessary to
reformat it using a computer. Be sure to copy photos off the storage device before
reformatting, as reformatting will permanently erase all contents. Select FAT32 as the
file system when reformatting the drive.

a video file that does not play and would like help, please contact our support team at
support@miccatron.com. We will provide troubleshooting help and tutorials on how to
make the video playable.
Not Showing All Photos or Showing Same Photos Repeatedly
First, try reformatting the SD card or USB drive that is used to hold the photos. Be sure
to copy photos off the drive before doing so as formatting the drive permanently erases
the contents. Select FAT32 as the file system when reformatting the drive. Copy photos
back onto the SD card or USB drive after formatting.
If problem persists after reformatting the drive, there are possibly one or more corrupted
or unsupported progressive-format files in the collection of photos. If you encounter this
issue and would like help, please contact our support team at support@miccatron.com.
We will provide troubleshooting help and tutorials on how to find and fix corrupt photos.
Cannot Copy a Photo to Internal Memory
The photo frame is primarily intended to play photos from an SD card or USB drive. The
internal memory is very small and can only hold about 3-4 photos at a time. It may be
necessary to delete some older photos before there is enough space to hold a new
photo.

9 Micca Limited Warranty
Except where indicated differently, the following standard limited warranty is valid for Micca
Branded products. Where differences and contradictions occur, warranty terms in product-
specific description, listing, invoices, and receipts, those terms shall take precedence over the
following standard terms.

The manufacturer warrants all Micca Branded products against defects in materials and
workmanship for a limited period of 1 year, unless otherwise superseded by product-specific
description, listing, invoices, or receipts. During the limited period, the manufacturer will repair or
replace defective products at the manufacturer’s sole option. Customer must pay for all return
shipping costs during the limited period. The limited warranty period starts at the date of original
purchase. This limited warranty applies only to purchases from authorized Micca retailers. This
limited warranty is extended only to the original purchaser and is valid only to consumers in the
same country as the authorized retailer from which the original purchase was made.

This limited warranty only covers failures due to defects in materials or workmanship that occur
during normal use. It does not cover failures resulting from accident, fire, flood, misuse, abuse,
neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, modification, service by
anyone other than the manufacturer, or damage that is attributable to Acts of God. It does not
cover costs of transportation to the manufacturer or damage in transit. Customers should return
defective products, freight prepaid and insured, to the manufacturer or authorized warranty
service center only after receiving a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). Customers are
required to provide a copy of the original sales invoice from an authorized retailer when making
a claim against this limited warranty.

Within the term of this warranty, defective products send to the manufacturer or authorized
warranty center for warranty service will be assessed a fee to cover shipping and handling of
the repaired or replacement product back to the customer. The fee amount depends on the
product and covers labor/handling, packaging materials, and standard shipping.

Repair or replacement under the terms of this warranty does not extend the term of this
warranty. Should a product prove to be defective in workmanship or material, the customer’s
sole remedies will be repair or replacement as provided under the terms of this warranty. If the
defective product is discontinued the manufacturer may replace the product with an equivalent
or superior product at its option. The limit of liability under this warranty is the original purchase
price of the product. Any cost of re-installation is the sole responsibility of the customer and that
cost shall not be the responsibility of the manufacturer. Under no circumstances shall the
manufacturer or its retailers be liable for loss or damage, direct, consequential or incidental,
arising out of the use of or inability to use the product. There are no express warranties other
than described above.
